About Trevor Santor

Born in Phoenix, Arizona - Trevor Santor grew up with a baseball glove in his hand. From playing on TV at 9 years old winning championships with his brother, to having a batting cage in his backyard. It's safe to say that Trevor fell in love with the game of baseball at a young age, and all that came with chasing - THE DREAM.

Trevor's dad (Larry) built a batting cage in their backyard, and gave Trevor all the tools and resources he needed to chase his dream of playing Major League Baseball one day. This helped Trevor immensely, especially after his parents went through a gut-wrenching divorce when he was 12.

I was raised in the cage!

At this time, Trevor also suffered from a torn rotator cuff from overuse playing year-round baseball as a middle infielder and pitcher. He was out of commission for 9 months after surgery. Both his family and the game he loved were ripped away from him before entering his teenage years.

But Trevor's dad would continue to inspire him to chase his dreams. He would even get to bring Trevor inside the dugout of Hall of Fame Major League Baseball Players like Bob Feller, Rollin Fingers, Jim "Mudcat" Grant, Brooks Robinson, and more! He was even MORE inspired to chase his dreams!

High School

In high school, Trevor performed very well athletically and was awarded Defensive Player of the Year his freshman year, Rookie of the Year his Sophomore year, Offensive Player of the Year his Junior year, and Team Captain his Senior Year.

Trevor also excelled academically in High School (3.7 GPA), and was awarded multiple academic scholarships to attend various colleges and universities.

Larry, worked extremely hard to get his son's through college by helping them stay goal-oriented and on top of their grades. Larry also helped them by applying for scholarships to help pay for their tuition as a single parent.

Trevor had to battle many adversities in life from multiple injuries, heartbreaks, betrayals, and self-inflicted setbacks, as well.
